Travis shows you 2h because that is the time that would be required if all builds where run one after another (we run builds in parallel).

Are you sure about than? I mean, what sense does it make to show how
long it *would* have taken *if* the builds were running serially? I
can see that the longest of the jobs took 21 minutes, which is ok. But
that does not mean that all jobs completed in within 21 minutes. It
could be that not all jobs started at (about) the same time due to a
lack of resources, and that the last job did not compete before the 2
hours were over because it only started to run 1 hours and 40 minutes
befor ethe first job was started.

If I am not mistaken then you can configure Travis in a way that it runs different configurations for different branches. E.g. I would like to run all 8 configurations on maint, master, next and maybe pu. All other branches on peoples own forks should be fine with the default Linux build (~10min).

I think running different configuration per branch makes sense, yes.
